Multiple Bahá'ís remain in prolonged detention without charge across Iran, held in prisons and undisclosed locations. These updates provide evidence of physical abuse, denial of medical care, and isolation from family, while judicial authorities offer no explanation for their detention.
On 13 June 2026, Ahmad Naimi, a Bahá'í resident of Yazd, was arrested after being summoned to appear at Branch 6 of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office. He is being jointly charged with his wife, Flora Samadani, who was arrested on 3 May 2026. Authorities have refused bail. His location is unknown and he has had no contact with his family.
On 16 June 2026, Noyan Hejazi, a Bahá'í resident of Juybar, was arrested after being summoned by telephone to retrieve previously seized belongings. While en route, he was detained by security forces in Sari. Hours later, his family was informed he had been hospitalized due to injuries sustained during arrest, including a cracked rib and multiple wounds consistent with severe physical assault. He remains in custody while receiving medical treatment.
On 16 June 2026, it was learned that Shakila Ghasemi, a 26-year-old Bahá'í from Kerman, remains in detention without charge more than 132 days after her arrest on 2 February 2026.
